Although two other street-legal hypercars are faster in a 0-60-mph sprint, Motor Trend found the 2017 Porsche 911 Turbo S to be the quickest vehicle from 0 to 30, 0 to 40, and 0 to 50 mph in acceleration testing.

On November 2 at Auto Club Speedway, in Fontana, California—Motor Trend's routine testing site—the 2017 Porsche 911 Turbo S reached those early split times in less elapsed time than anything previously tested by the magazine.

Only the 2015 Ferrari LaFerrari and 2015 Porsche 918 Spider have been quicker to 60 mph from a standstill. Still, both vehicles had slower initial acceleration than the 911 Turbo S (see chart below).

Editor's Note: Not long after we said goodbye to the 911 Turbo S tester, we ran an exclusive First Test on the incredibly capable and record-breaking 2017 Tesla Model S P100D. That Model S variant has been added to the chart.

And although the 911 Turbo S' maximum 580 hp (at 6,750 rpm) and 553 lb-ft of torque (at 2,250 rpm in overboost) might trail some other supercars, its relatively svelte 3,557-pound curb weight, rear-engine location, and all-wheel drive enable it to get power to the pavement that much more quickly.
